New Contract for Library Workers in LA County

SEIU Local 721, Los Angeles County's largest union that represents county employees including library workers, approved a new collective agreement that includes wage increases and additional vacation time. The president of the union said:

“The men and women on the front lines of providing critical services in our communities must be able to also provide for their own families, this is why we prioritized raising the lowest paid workers to $15 and ensuring folks like our library pages had the security of a path to a permanent job."
